That's more determined by what kind of data you're gonna be handling. If you want to do lots of little financial transactions, then 32k or less is good. If you're gonna store moderately large text fields and such, then going above 32k or 64k is usually a good idea. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
